A Good Day Records uploaded this from post-rock band Sugar Plum Ferry (甜梅號), who are now (at least temporarily) going by the name 四分之三搖籃曲 (Three Quarters Lullaby).
Their bass player left, and there was some copyright issue about the last album, maybe as an original member he co-owned the rights to the band name? I’m not entirely clear on the situation, but anyway, the band replaced his bass parts from that late 2013 album, also re-mixed & re-packaged with new artwork.
The title was changed from 金光之鄉 / Hometown of Glitter to 微光群島 / Shimmering Islands, and the band invited their fans to compare this new version, titled “7”, to the earlier one: “Goodbye Doomed Genes”.
I listened to the new version, and it’s a powerful epic, so check it out, post-rock peeps!
———————————
By the way, the only other time I can recall a band re-recording a former member’s playing is when Ozzy & Sharon Osborne brought in new musicians in 2002 to replace the playing of 2 original members (drummer Lee Kerslake & bassist Bob Daisley) on his 1980’s Blizzard of Ozz and 1981’s Diary of a Madman albums.
Can anybody think of other examples?
